Sony is launching a Windows 8 "hybrid" computer today that is both a laptop and a touchscreen tablet.
The Duo 11 is available in black and sells for $1,099.
You can also use the Note Anytime application for jotting down handwritten notes on the touchscreen.
The Duo 11 weighs 2.84 pounds and comes with a pressure-sensitive digitizer pen that lets you write on the touchscreen. You can use swappable pen tips for a firmer or softer writing style, making it good for sketching. It has a full high-definition touchscreen LCD display, a backlit keyboard, and an Intel Core processor (Core i3 to Core i7). It has a battery sheet that snaps on and extends the life.
The machine can share content with other devices via its near-field communications (NFC) wireless technology. The touchscreen has a spring-loaded sliding mechanism that makes it easy to remove and use as a tablet. It has five hours of battery life, but the sheet battery extends that to 10 hours.
Sony is also offering updates to its laptop families, including the T series, E series, L series, and S series.
